The engines look similar to what they use on RC aircraft. I used to fly them, and for the heck of it I priced these jet engines. About $7500 per.
I wonder how he controls it. Like hang gliding? Or are there control surfaces?
According to the article I read earlier they are RC engines, and he controls it by simply leaning or "body English" left, right up and down.
He has to concentrate on relaxing because if he stiffens up his control is compromised.
Wanna bet that they build some for secret (American and Israeli) military ops? The black budget can absorb the costs no matter how ridiculous. And, of course Hollywood will have to have a few so, they may go into limited production for high end customers after all.
